I picked up a Ridgid F60 on eBay a couple of months ago. Appears to be stout, but I haven't used it yet. They are made of several individual steel 75ksi forgings and then welded together. Very impressive build quality, but not surprising because they are made in Germany! Not sure who is actually manufacturing them, there are no markings other than Ridgid's.

You might also want to include these guys on your list.http://www.milwmal.com/home.htm
The Morgan-Milwaukee vise line. Some of these look indentical to the old Morgan-Chicago vises you find, probably some history available if you could find it.

Another thing I saw, too, for the Ridgid vises.... LIFETIME WARRANTY. Might be worth looking at.
